My good friends at i5810 media asked me to go interview someone for their Hope to the Hungry campaign to raise money for Rescue missions that help the homeless.
I love hearing and seeing stories of life change. You know those stories that are crazy and wild and are only created by God. I got the chance to sit down with one of these God stories. His name is Brian “Head” Welch. He is the ex co-founder and lead guitarist of the band Korn! God has used this guy in great ways. Take a few minutes and watch!!
Many of you know about our adoption of our amazing daughter 4 years ago. It still amazes me that we have her and she is ours. The complications of the adoption were many and at times we were told it wasn’t going to happen. I will never forget the day I was standing in the Minster of Family and Genders office in Kigali, Rwanda and out of the depths of my heart and holy justice came these words
I will do what you need me to do…I will drive all over your country and get whatever papers you need with whatever signatures you need but I WILL NOT LEAVE RWANDA WITHOUT MY DAUGHTER!!!
I will never forget the look on the ladies face when she just realized Aslan had stepped into her office
!! At the time Rwanda didn’t really work with adoption agencies and so this was an independent adoption. I had no idea what was going to happen, but after 7 weeks of begin stuck in Kigali, Rwanda and then Nairobi, Kenya and then back in Kigali, Rwanda and then back in Nairobi, Kenya, getting another US Ambassador and US Consular from another country involved, crying and praying and crying some more…we boarded a plane for home!!
It still brings me to tears even as I write this…I wanted to share this Adoption Story through pictures!! Enjoy!!!
